Generate XML Schema from Java class (or the opposite)

I wanted to generate some XML Schemas for my project. I have some Java Classes, like this one:

import com.fortresswars.entity.p         


        

Answer 1

Yes, JAXB can go both ways (using annotations). Check out this question for more info and some links.

Answer 2

There's a tool called schemagen inside the JDK bin directory, that turns java source/class file into an XML schema. See the documentation.

Answer 3

JAXB can do both

1. Using JAXB schemagen tooling to generate an XML schema file from a Java class
2. Using JAXB xjc tooling to generate JAXB classes from an XML schema file
